Instruction Manual
Also, the hole in each control horn may need to
be enlarged slightly to allow the nylon clevis pin
to be installed without binding.
5. Plug the aileron servo into the receiver and
center the servo. Install the servo arm onto
the servo. The servo arm should be
perpendicular to the servo and point toward
the middle of the wing.
6. Center the aileron and hold it in place using a
couple of pieces of masking tape.
7. With the aileron and aileron servo centered,
carefully place a mark on the aileron pushrod
wire where it crosses the hole in the servo
arm.
8. Using pliers, carefully make a 90 degree bend
down at the mark made. Cut off the excess
wire, leaving about 4mm beyond the bend.
9. Insert the 90 degree bend down through the
hole in the servo arm. Install one nylon snap
keeper over the wire to secure it to the arm.
Install the servo arm retaining screw and
remove the masking tape from the aileron.
10. Repeat these step to install the second
aileron linkage.

Wing Installation

1. Locate the two predrilled holes in the wing
that accept the two nylon wing bolts. Using a
modeling knife, remove the covering from
over them. This needs to be done on both the
top and the bottom of the wing.

2. Place the wing into the wing saddle. Check
the alignment of the predrilled holes in the
fuselage bulkhead with the wing dowels
installed in the font of the wing. The holes in
the fuselage may need to be adjusted slightly
to line up perfectly with the dowels. If you
need to adjust the holes, a small round file
works best for this.
3. Test fit the two nylon wing bolts through the
predrilled holes in the wing and into the
threaded insert in the wing mounting blocks
in the fuselage. You may need to adjust the
perdrilled holes in the wing to align perfectly
with those in the fuselage. If so, use a
modeling knife or drill to slightly elongate the
holes in the wing until they are aligned with
those in the fuselage.
4. When satisfied with the alignment of the
holes in the wing, remove the wing and drill
out the holes using a 5/16'' drill bit. These
larger holes will accept the nylon bushings.
5. Place the wing back in the wing saddle and
test the fit of the nylon screws and bushings.
